With Haringey gearing up to be the London Borough of Culture (LBOC) in 2027, visitors will be able to explore 30 architecturally significant spaces opening their doors to the public.
Some of Haringey’s most iconic community locations, estates, markets, museums and religious buildings will all be accessible for rare and unique engagements and tours between Saturday 13 September and Sunday 21 September, with most locations in the borough opening during the first weekend of the festival (Saturday 13 September-Sunday 14 September).
Haringey Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Cllr Emily Arkell, said:
The Open House Festival provides Haringey residents and visitors to our borough with a nine-day window to experience and explore the amazing places and spaces we have here.
I’d encourage everybody to make the most of this annual opportunity to learn about these amazing and historical locations and venues as we prepare to be the London Borough of Culture in less than two years’ time.
